Irish treaty vote urged by Valera supporters open ballot urged
Wednesday's Daily reports supporters of the Irish treaty with England securing a promise from Valera and others to let the people vote.

The piece questions opponents' arguments and cautions against baseless perjury claims in senate hearings about abuses by officers.
